Recommended Posts

Hello, I was banded in January 2010 I have lost over 80 pounds I am now doing body wraps. To make my stomach flat to get the loose skin to shrink please check out my website sanjasebodywrapups.itworks.com for life after the wonderful lap band. The lap band is the best decision I have made in my life.

You are one of many people trying to make money off us by selling this stuff. It's getting really old.

Fact: All of these wraps work one of two ways: Diuretics or thermogentics. Sometimes a combination of both. The ingredients in the particular one you're selling contain diuretics as well as a plant used for hemorrhoids.

The "active ingredients" (they like to call them herbs) in these wraps:

Horse Chestnut Seed Extract- used to treat hemorrhoids

Horsetail Leaf/Stem Extract- diuretic

Butchers Broom Root Extract- diuretic and laxative

Rosmarinus or Rosemary Leaf Oil- diuretic

You may have minor results but being as they're based on diuretics, they will be temporary. When you stop using these things the volume will return because the moisture returns. These wraps are nothing more than an over-priced temporary fix.

If you want to use them for the rest of your life, wonderful. That's your choice. But, others deserve to know the truth before spending their money on a gimmick.

Yes I have heard the same Missy, that they are great if you are prepping for a wedding or something but at 65 a month or whatever it is it's just not realistic in my oppinion. I'm just going to keep running and hold out for my Tummy Tuck in a year or two!

its just Water weight that is (lost) if any....very much like a liquid diet...amazes me how people just think all fat/obese people will fall for the easy/quick fixes....and yes they do...desperate to lose weight we are..

yep i had WLS...i could hardly walk or wipe my a**ss..not proud of that but it gave me life back....i eat better foods, exercise and let the band tell me when (and use my common sense and dr advised allotment size).

if i want to sweat, i will go lay in sun

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
